1Paravirt_ops on IA64
2====================
3 21 May 2008, Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp>

6Introduction
7------------
8The aim of this documentation is to help with maintainability and/or to
9encourage people to use paravirt_ops/IA64.
10
11paravirt_ops (pv_ops in short) is a way for virtualization support of
12Linux kernel on x86. Several ways for virtualization support were
13proposed, paravirt_ops is the winner.
14On the other hand, now there are also several IA64 virtualization
15technologies like kvm/IA64, xen/IA64 and many other academic IA64
16hypervisors so that it is good to add generic virtualization
17infrastructure on Linux/IA64.
18
19
20What is paravirt_ops?
21---------------------
22It has been developed on x86 as virtualization support via API, not ABI.
23It allows each hypervisor to override operations which are important for
24hypervisors at API level. And it allows a single kernel binary to run on
25all supported execution environments including native machine.
26Essentially paravirt_ops is a set of function pointers which represent
27operations corresponding to low level sensitive instructions and high
28level functionalities in various area. But one significant difference
29from usual function pointer table is that it allows optimization with
30binary patch. It is because some of these operations are very
31performance sensitive and indirect call overhead is not negligible.
32With binary patch, indirect C function call can be transformed into
33direct C function call or in-place execution to eliminate the overhead.
34
35Thus, operations of paravirt_ops are classified into three categories.
36- simple indirect call
37 These operations correspond to high level functionality so that the
38 overhead of indirect call isn't very important.
39
40- indirect call which allows optimization with binary patch
41 Usually these operations correspond to low level instructions. They
42 are called frequently and performance critical. So the overhead is
43 very important.
44
45- a set of macros for hand written assembly code
46 Hand written assembly codes (.S files) also need paravirtualization
47 because they include sensitive instructions or some of code paths in
48 them are very performance critical.
49
50
51The relation to the IA64 machine vector
52---------------------------------------
53Linux/IA64 has the IA64 machine vector functionality which allows the
54kernel to switch implementations (e.g. initialization, ipi, dma api...)
55depending on executing platform.
56We can replace some implementations very easily defining a new machine
57vector. Thus another approach for virtualization support would be
58enhancing the machine vector functionality.
59But paravirt_ops approach was taken because
60- virtualization support needs wider support than machine vector does.
61 e.g. low level instruction paravirtualization. It must be
62 initialized very early before platform detection.
63
64- virtualization support needs more functionality like binary patch.
65 Probably the calling overhead might not be very large compared to the
66 emulation overhead of virtualization. However in the native case, the
67 overhead should be eliminated completely.
68 A single kernel binary should run on each environment including native,
69 and the overhead of paravirt_ops on native environment should be as
70 small as possible.
71
72- for full virtualization technology, e.g. KVM/IA64 or
73 Xen/IA64 HVM domain, the result would be
74 (the emulated platform machine vector. probably dig) + (pv_ops).
75 This means that the virtualization support layer should be under
76 the machine vector layer.
77
78Possibly it might be better to move some function pointers from
79paravirt_ops to machine vector. In fact, Xen domU case utilizes both
80pv_ops and machine vector.

85In this section, the concrete paravirt_ops will be discussed.
86Because of the architecture difference between ia64 and x86, the
87resulting set of functions is very different from x86 pv_ops.
88
89- C function pointer tables
90They are not very performance critical so that simple C indirect
91function call is acceptable. The following structures are defined at
92this moment. For details see linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt.h
93 - struct pv_info
94 This structure describes the execution environment.
95 - struct pv_init_ops
96 This structure describes the various initialization hooks.
97 - struct pv_iosapic_ops
98 This structure describes hooks to iosapic operations.
99 - struct pv_irq_ops
100 This structure describes hooks to irq related operations
101 - struct pv_time_op
102 This structure describes hooks to steal time accounting.
103
104- a set of indirect calls which need optimization
105Currently this class of functions correspond to a subset of IA64
106intrinsics. At this moment the optimization with binary patch isn't
107implemented yet.
108struct pv_cpu_op is defined. For details see
109linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt_privop.h
110Mostly they correspond to ia64 intrinsics 1-to-1.
111Caveat: Now they are defined as C indirect function pointers, but in
112order to support binary patch optimization, they will be changed
113using GCC extended inline assembly code.
114
115- a set of macros for hand written assembly code (.S files)
116For maintenance purpose, the taken approach for .S files is single
117source code and compile multiple times with different macros definitions.
118Each pv_ops instance must define those macros to compile.
119The important thing here is that sensitive, but non-privileged
120instructions must be paravirtualized and that some privileged
121instructions also need paravirtualization for reasonable performance.
122Developers who modify .S files must be aware of that. At this moment
123an easy checker is implemented to detect paravirtualization breakage.
124But it doesn't cover all the cases.
125
126Sometimes this set of macros is called pv_cpu_asm_op. But there is no
127corresponding structure in the source code.
128Those macros mostly 1:1 correspond to a subset of privileged
129instructions. See linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
130And some functions written in assembly also need to be overrided so
131that each pv_ops instance have to define some macros. Again see
132linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
133
134
135Those structures must be initialized very early before start_kernel.
136Probably initialized in head.S using multi entry point or some other trick.
137For native case implementation see linux/arch/ia64/kernel/paravirt.c.

8Introduction
9------------
10
11This file describes how to use the DM9000 platform-device based network driver
12that is contained in the files drivers/net/dm9000.c and drivers/net/dm9000.h.
13
14The driver supports three DM9000 variants, the DM9000E which is the first chip
15supported as well as the newer DM9000A and DM9000B devices. It is currently
16maintained and tested by Ben Dooks, who should be CC: to any patches for this
17driver.
18
19
20Defining the platform device
21----------------------------
22
23The minimum set of resources attached to the platform device are as follows:
24
25 1) The physical address of the address register
26 2) The physical address of the data register
27 3) The IRQ line the device's interrupt pin is connected to.
28
29These resources should be specified in that order, as the ordering of the
30two address regions is important (the driver expects these to be address
31and then data).
32
33An example from arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-bast.c is:
34
35static struct resource bast_dm9k_resource[] = {
36 [0] = {
37 .start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000,
38 .end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 3,
39 .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
40 },
41 [1] = {
42 .start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40,
43 .end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40 + 0x3f,
44 .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
45 },
46 [2] = {
47 .start = IRQ_DM9000,
48 .end = IRQ_DM9000,
49 .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL,
50 }
51};
52
53static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
54 .name = "dm9000",
55 .id = 0,
56 .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
57 .resource = bast_dm9k_resource,
58};
59
60Note the setting of the IRQ trigger flag in bast_dm9k_resource[2].flags,
61as this will generate a warning if it is not present. The trigger from
62the flags field will be passed to request_irq() when registering the IRQ
63handler to ensure that the IRQ is setup correctly.
64
65This shows a typical platform device, without the optional configuration
66platform data supplied. The next example uses the same resources, but adds
67the optional platform data to pass extra configuration data:
68
69static struct dm9000_plat_data bast_dm9k_platdata = {
70 .flags = DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY,
71};
72
73static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
74 .name = "dm9000",
75 .id = 0,
76 .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
77 .resource = bast_dm9k_resource,
78 .dev = {
79 .platform_data = &bast_dm9k_platdata,
80 }
81};
82
83The platform data is defined in include/linux/dm9000.h and described below.
84
85
86Platform data
87-------------
88
89Extra platform data for the DM9000 can describe the IO bus width to the
90device, whether or not an external PHY is attached to the device and
91the availability of an external configuration EEPROM.
92
93The flags for the platform data .flags field are as follows:
94
95DM9000_PLATF_8BITONLY
96
97 The IO should be done with 8bit operations.
98
99DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY
100
101 The IO should be done with 16bit operations.
102
103DM9000_PLATF_32BITONLY
104
105 The IO should be done with 32bit operations.
106
107DM9000_PLATF_EXT_PHY
108
109 The chip is connected to an external PHY.
110
111DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM
112
113 This can be used to signify that the board does not have an
114 EEPROM, or that the EEPROM should be hidden from the user.
115
116DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
117
118 Switch to using the simpler PHY polling method which does not
119 try and read the MII PHY state regularly. This is only available
120 when using the internal PHY. See the section on link state polling
121 for more information.
122
123 The config symbol DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL, Kconfig entry
124 "Force simple NSR based PHY polling" allows this flag to be
125 forced on at build time.
126
127
128PHY Link state polling
129----------------------
130
131The driver keeps track of the link state and informs the network core
132about link (carrier) availablilty. This is managed by several methods
133depending on the version of the chip and on which PHY is being used.
134
135For the internal PHY, the original (and currently default) method is
136to read the MII state, either when the status changes if we have the
137necessary interrupt support in the chip or every two seconds via a
138periodic timer.
139
140To reduce the overhead for the internal PHY, there is now the option
141of using the DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL config, or DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
142platform data option to read the summary information without the
143expensive MII accesses. This method is faster, but does not print
144as much information.
145
146When using an external PHY, the driver currently has to poll the MII
147link status as there is no method for getting an interrupt on link change.
148
149
150DM9000A / DM9000B
151-----------------
152
153These chips are functionally similar to the DM9000E and are supported easily
154by the same driver. The features are:
155
156 1) Interrupt on internal PHY state change. This means that the periodic
157 polling of the PHY status may be disabled on these devices when using
158 the internal PHY.
159
160 2) TCP/UDP checksum offloading, which the driver does not currently support.
161
162
163ethtool
164-------
165
166The driver supports the ethtool interface for access to the driver
167state information, the PHY state and the EEPROM.

254If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it
255can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set
256the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP
257transfer rates. One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to
258be used by the IP stack to store incoming data.

270Additional Configurations
271=========================
272
273 Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions
274 -------------------------------------------------
275 Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is
276 distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding
277 an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup
278 scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux distributions ship
279 with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the proper way to
280 configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution
281 documentation. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module
282 name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of
283 Adapters is ixgb.
284
285 Viewing Link Messages
286 ---------------------
287 Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
288 restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
289 your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
290
291 dmesg -n 8
292
293 NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
294
295
296 Jumbo Frames
297 ------------
298 The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
299 enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
300 The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ifconfig command to
301 increase the MTU size. For example:
302
303 ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
304
305 The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides
306 with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
307
308
309 Ethtool
310 -------
311 The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
312 diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. Ethtool
313 version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality.
314
315 The latest release of ethtool can be found from
316 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel
317
318 NOTE: Ethtool 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. Support
319 for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by upgrading
320 to the latest version.
321
322
323 NAPI
324 ----
325
326 NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver. NAPI is enabled
327 or disabled based on the configuration of the kernel. see CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI
328
329 See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.
330
331
332Known Issues/Troubleshooting
333============================
334
335 NOTE: After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not
336 working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have
337 installed the correct driver.
338
339 Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issue with
340 Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis
341 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
342 Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
343 Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits
344 chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
345 The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4
346 Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different
347 cable assembly may resolve the issue.
348
349 CX4 Server Adapter Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl
350 Switch Port
351 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
352 Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
353 adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
354 (1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve
355 the issue.
356
357 Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
358 Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC
359 errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If
360 this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
361
362
363 Jumbo Frames System Requirement
364 -------------------------------
365 Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB
366 of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo
367 Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum
368 requirement of 64 MB of system memory.
369
370
371 Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames
372 -----------------------------------------
373 Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames
374 environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer
375 size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help.
376 See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/
377 networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.
378
379
380 Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames
381 ---------------------------------------------
382 Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if
383 the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X
384 adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated
385 by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by
386 increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes.
387
388
389 Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
390 ------------------------------------------------------
391 Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
392 one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
393 (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
394 will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
395 This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
396
397 If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
398
399 - Turn on ARP filtering by entering:
400 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
401
402 - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in
403 different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
404
405
406 UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue
407 --------------------------------------
408 Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system
409 may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want
410 to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for
411 controlling packet reception.
412
413
414 Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress
415 ------------------------------
416 Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO
417 "ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem.

9Introduction
10
11mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
12arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211. It can be used to
13test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g.,
14hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with
15the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view
16point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes
17to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.
18
19The main goal for mac80211_hwsim is to make it easier for developers
20to test their code and work with new features to mac80211, hostapd,
21and wpa_supplicant. The simulated radios do not have the limitations
22of real hardware, so it is easy to generate an arbitrary test setup
23and always reproduce the same setup for future tests. In addition,
24since all radio operation is simulated, any channel can be used in
25tests regardless of regulatory rules.
26
27mac80211_hwsim kernel module has a parameter 'radios' that can be used
28to select how many radios are simulated (default 2). This allows
29configuration of both very simply setups (e.g., just a single access
30point and a station) or large scale tests (multiple access points with
31hundreds of stations).
32
33mac80211_hwsim works by tracking the current channel of each virtual
34radio and copying all transmitted frames to all other radios that are
35currently enabled and on the same channel as the transmitting
36radio. Software encryption in mac80211 is used so that the frames are
37actually encrypted over the virtual air interface to allow more
38complete testing of encryption.
39
40A global monitoring netdev, hwsim#, is created independent of
41mac80211. This interface can be used to monitor all transmitted frames
42regardless of channel.
43
44
45Simple example
46
47This example shows how to use mac80211_hwsim to simulate two radios:
48one to act as an access point and the other as a station that
49associates with the AP. hostapd and wpa_supplicant are used to take
50care of WPA2-PSK authentication. In addition, hostapd is also
51processing access point side of association.
52
53Please note that the current Linux kernel does not enable AP mode, so a
54simple patch is needed to enable AP mode selection:

17changes are transparent to that driver.

35Finally, the base driver should indicate that it is a multiqueue device. The
36feature flag NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE should be added to the netdev->features
37bitmap on device initialization. Below is an example from e1000:
38
39#ifdef CONFIG_E1000_MQ
40 if ( (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_82571) ||
41 (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_82572) ||
42 (adapter->hw.mac.type == e1000_80003es2lan))
43 netdev->features |= NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE;
44#endif
45
46
47Section 2: Qdisc support for multiqueue devices
48-----------------------------------------------
49
50Currently two qdiscs support multiqueue devices. A new round-robin qdisc,
51sch_rr, and sch_prio. The qdisc is responsible for classifying the skb's to
52bands and queues, and will store the queue mapping into skb->queue_mapping.
53Use this field in the base driver to determine which queue to send the skb
54to.
55
56sch_rr has been added for hardware that doesn't want scheduling policies from
57software, so it's a straight round-robin qdisc. It uses the same syntax and
58classification priomap that sch_prio uses, so it should be intuitive to
59configure for people who've used sch_prio.
60
61In order to utilitize the multiqueue features of the qdiscs, the network
62device layer needs to enable multiple queue support. This can be done by
63selecting NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE under Drivers.
64
65The PRIO qdisc naturally plugs into a multiqueue device. If
66NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE is selected, then on qdisc load, the number of
67bands requested is compared to the number of queues on the hardware. If they
68are equal, it sets a one-to-one mapping up between the queues and bands. If
69they're not equal, it will not load the qdisc. This is the same behavior
70for RR. Once the association is made, any skb that is classified will have
71skb->queue_mapping set, which will allow the driver to properly queue skb's
72to multiple queues.
73
74
75Section 3: Brief howto using PRIO and RR for multiqueue devices
76---------------------------------------------------------------
77
78The userspace command 'tc,' part of the iproute2 package, is used to configure
79qdiscs. To add the PRIO qdisc to your network device, assuming the device is
80called eth0, run the following command:
81
82# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 4 multiqueue
83
84This will create 4 bands, 0 being highest priority, and associate those bands
85to the queues on your NIC. Assuming eth0 has 4 Tx queues, the band mapping
86would look like:
87
88band 0 => queue 0
89band 1 => queue 1
90band 2 => queue 2
91band 3 => queue 3
92
93Traffic will begin flowing through each queue if your TOS values are assigning
94traffic across the various bands. For example, ssh traffic will always try to
95go out band 0 based on TOS -> Linux priority conversion (realtime traffic),
96so it will be sent out queue 0. ICMP traffic (pings) fall into the "normal"
97traffic classification, which is band 1. Therefore pings will be send out
98queue 1 on the NIC.
99
100Note the use of the multiqueue keyword. This is only in versions of iproute2
101that support multiqueue networking devices; if this is omitted when loading
102a qdisc onto a multiqueue device, the qdisc will load and operate the same
103if it were loaded onto a single-queue device (i.e. - sends all traffic to
104queue 0).
105
106Another alternative to multiqueue band allocation can be done by using the
107multiqueue option and specify 0 bands. If this is the case, the qdisc will
108allocate the number of bands to equal the number of queues that the device
109reports, and bring the qdisc online.
110
111The behavior of tc filters remains the same, where it will override TOS priority
112classification.

11The rfkill switch subsystem offers support for keys often found on laptops 141. Introduction:
12to enable wireless devices like WiFi and Bluetooth. 15
16The rfkill switch subsystem exists to add a generic interface to circuitry that
17can enable or disable the signal output of a wireless *transmitter* of any
18type. By far, the most common use is to disable radio-frequency transmitters.
13 19
14This is done by providing the user 3 possibilities: 20Note that disabling the signal output means that the the transmitter is to be

38===============================================================================
392: Implementation details
40
41The rfkill subsystem is composed of various components: the rfkill class, the
42rfkill-input module (an input layer handler), and some specific input layer
43events.
44
45The rfkill class provides kernel drivers with an interface that allows them to
46know when they should enable or disable a wireless network device transmitter.
47This is enabled by the CONFIG_RFKILL Kconfig option.
48
49The rfkill class support makes sure userspace will be notified of all state
50changes on rfkill devices through uevents. It provides a notification chain
51for interested parties in the kernel to also get notified of rfkill state
52changes in other drivers. It creates several sysfs entries which can be used
53by userspace. See section "Userspace support".
54
55The rfkill-input module provides the kernel with the ability to implement a
56basic response when the user presses a key or button (or toggles a switch)
57related to rfkill functionality. It is an in-kernel implementation of default
58policy of reacting to rfkill-related input events and neither mandatory nor
59required for wireless drivers to operate. It is enabled by the
60CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT Kconfig option.
61
62rfkill-input is a rfkill-related events input layer handler. This handler will
63listen to all rfkill key events and will change the rfkill state of the
64wireless devices accordingly. With this option enabled userspace could either
65do nothing or simply perform monitoring tasks.
66
67The rfkill-input module also provides EPO (emergency power-off) functionality
68for all wireless transmitters. This function cannot be overridden, and it is
69always active. rfkill EPO is related to *_RFKILL_ALL input layer events.
70
71
72Important terms for the rfkill subsystem:
73
74In order to avoid confusion, we avoid the term "switch" in rfkill when it is
75referring to an electronic control circuit that enables or disables a
76transmitter. We reserve it for the physical device a human manipulates
77(which is an input device, by the way):
78
79rfkill switch:
80
81 A physical device a human manipulates. Its state can be perceived by
82 the kernel either directly (through a GPIO pin, ACPI GPE) or by its
83 effect on a rfkill line of a wireless device.
84
85rfkill controller:
86
87 A hardware circuit that controls the state of a rfkill line, which a
88 kernel driver can interact with *to modify* that state (i.e. it has
89 either write-only or read/write access).
90
91rfkill line:
92
93 An input channel (hardware or software) of a wireless device, which
94 causes a wireless transmitter to stop emitting energy (BLOCK) when it
95 is active. Point of view is extremely important here: rfkill lines are
96 always seen from the PoV of a wireless device (and its driver).
97
98soft rfkill line/software rfkill line:
99
100 A rfkill line the wireless device driver can directly change the state
101 of. Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED.
102
103hard rfkill line/hardware rfkill line:
104
105 A rfkill line that works fully in hardware or firmware, and that cannot
106 be overridden by the kernel driver. The hardware device or the
107 firmware just exports its status to the driver, but it is read-only.
108 Related to rfkill_state RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED.
109
110The enum rfkill_state describes the rfkill state of a transmitter:
111
112When a rfkill line or rfkill controller is in the RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED state,
113the wireless transmitter (radio TX circuit for example) is *enabled*. When the
114it is in the RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED or RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED, the
115wireless transmitter is to be *blocked* from operating.
116
117RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio() can change
118that state. RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED indicates that a call to toggle_radio()
119will not be able to change the state and will return with a suitable error if
120attempts are made to set the state to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
121
122RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED is used by drivers to signal that the device is
123locked in the BLOCKED state by a hardwire rfkill line (typically an input pin
124that, when active, forces the transmitter to be disabled) which the driver
125CANNOT override.
126
127Full rfkill functionality requires two different subsystems to cooperate: the
128input layer and the rfkill class. The input layer issues *commands* to the
129entire system requesting that devices registered to the rfkill class change
130state. The way this interaction happens is not complex, but it is not obvious
131either:
132
133Kernel Input layer:
134
135 * Generates KEY_WWAN, KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, SW_RFKILL_ALL, and
136 other such events when the user presses certain keys, buttons, or
137 toggles certain physical switches.
138
139 THE INPUT LAYER IS NEVER USED TO PROPAGATE STATUS, NOTIFICATIONS OR THE
140 KIND OF STUFF AN ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY APPLICATION WOULD REPORT. It is
141 used to issue *commands* for the system to change behaviour, and these
142 commands may or may not be carried out by some kernel driver or
143 userspace application. It follows that doing user feedback based only
144 on input events is broken, as there is no guarantee that an input event
145 will be acted upon.
146
147 Most wireless communication device drivers implementing rfkill
148 functionality MUST NOT generate these events, and have no reason to
149 register themselves with the input layer. Doing otherwise is a common
150 misconception. There is an API to propagate rfkill status change
151 information, and it is NOT the input layer.
152
153rfkill class:
154
155 * Calls a hook in a driver to effectively change the wireless
156 transmitter state;
157 * Keeps track of the wireless transmitter state (with help from
158 the driver);
159 * Generates userspace notifications (uevents) and a call to a
160 notification chain (kernel) when there is a wireless transmitter
161 state change;
162 * Connects a wireless communications driver with the common rfkill
163 control system, which, for example, allows actions such as
164 "switch all bluetooth devices offline" to be carried out by
165 userspace or by rfkill-input.
166
167 THE RFKILL CLASS NEVER ISSUES INPUT EVENTS. THE RFKILL CLASS DOES
168 NOT LISTEN TO INPUT EVENTS. NO DRIVER USING THE RFKILL CLASS SHALL
169 EVER LISTEN TO, OR ACT ON RFKILL INPUT EVENTS. Doing otherwise is
170 a layering violation.
171
172 Most wireless data communication drivers in the kernel have just to
173 implement the rfkill class API to work properly. Interfacing to the
174 input layer is not often required (and is very often a *bug*) on
175 wireless drivers.
176
177 Platform drivers often have to attach to the input layer to *issue*
178 (but never to listen to) rfkill events for rfkill switches, and also to
179 the rfkill class to export a control interface for the platform rfkill
180 controllers to the rfkill subsystem. This does NOT mean the rfkill
181 switch is attached to a rfkill class (doing so is almost always wrong).
182 It just means the same kernel module is the driver for different
183 devices (rfkill switches and rfkill controllers).
184
185
186Userspace input handlers (uevents) or kernel input handlers (rfkill-input):
187
188 * Implements the policy of what should happen when one of the input
189 layer events related to rfkill operation is received.
190 * Uses the sysfs interface (userspace) or private rfkill API calls
191 to tell the devices registered with the rfkill class to change
192 their state (i.e. translates the input layer event into real
193 action).
194 * rfkill-input implements EPO by handling EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL 0
195 (power off all transmitters) in a special way: it ignores any
196 overrides and local state cache and forces all transmitters to the
197 RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state (including those which are already
198 supposed to be BLOCKED). Note that the opposite event (power on all
199 transmitters) is handled normally.
200
201Userspace uevent handler or kernel platform-specific drivers hooked to the
202rfkill notifier chain:
203
204 * Taps into the rfkill notifier chain or to KOBJ_CHANGE uevents,
205 in order to know when a device that is registered with the rfkill
206 class changes state;
207 * Issues feedback notifications to the user;
208 * In the rare platforms where this is required, synthesizes an input
209 event to command all *OTHER* rfkill devices to also change their
210 statues when a specific rfkill device changes state.
211
212
213===============================================================================
2143: Kernel driver guidelines
215
216Remember: point-of-view is everything for a driver that connects to the rfkill
217subsystem. All the details below must be measured/perceived from the point of
218view of the specific driver being modified.
219
220The first thing one needs to know is whether his driver should be talking to
221the rfkill class or to the input layer. In rare cases (platform drivers), it
222could happen that you need to do both, as platform drivers often handle a
223variety of devices in the same driver.
224
225Do not mistake input devices for rfkill controllers. The only type of "rfkill
226switch" device that is to be registered with the rfkill class are those
227directly controlling the circuits that cause a wireless transmitter to stop
228working (or the software equivalent of them), i.e. what we call a rfkill
229controller. Every other kind of "rfkill switch" is just an input device and
230MUST NOT be registered with the rfkill class.
231
232A driver should register a device with the rfkill class when ALL of the
233following conditions are met (they define a rfkill controller):
234
2351. The device is/controls a data communications wireless transmitter;
236
2372. The kernel can interact with the hardware/firmware to CHANGE the wireless
238 transmitter state (block/unblock TX operation);
239
2403. The transmitter can be made to not emit any energy when "blocked":
241 rfkill is not about blocking data transmissions, it is about blocking
242 energy emission;
243
244A driver should register a device with the input subsystem to issue
245rfkill-related events (KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WWAN, KEY_WIMAX,
246SW_RFKILL_ALL, etc) when ALL of the folowing conditions are met:
247
2481. It is directly related to some physical device the user interacts with, to
249 command the O.S./firmware/hardware to enable/disable a data communications
250 wireless transmitter.
251
252 Examples of the physical device are: buttons, keys and switches the user
253 will press/touch/slide/switch to enable or disable the wireless
254 communication device.
255
2562. It is NOT slaved to another device, i.e. there is no other device that
257 issues rfkill-related input events in preference to this one.
26 258
27The system inside the kernel has been split into 2 separate sections: 259 Please refer to the corner cases and examples section for more details.
28 1 - RFKILL
29 2 - RFKILL_INPUT
30 260
31The first option enables rfkill support and will make sure userspace will 261When in doubt, do not issue input events. For drivers that should generate
32be notified of any events through the input device. It also creates several 262input events in some platforms, but not in others (e.g. b43), the best solution
33sysfs entries which can be used by userspace. See section "Userspace support". 263is to NEVER generate input events in the first place. That work should be
264deferred to a platform-specific kernel module (which will know when to generate
265events through the rfkill notifier chain) or to userspace. This avoids the
266usual maintenance problems with DMI whitelisting.
34 267
35The second option provides an rfkill input handler. This handler will
36listen to all rfkill key events and will toggle the radio accordingly.
37With this option enabled userspace could either do nothing or simply
38perform monitoring tasks.
39 268
269Corner cases and examples:
40==================================== 270====================================
412: Driver support
42 271
43To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should 2721. If the device is an input device that, because of hardware or firmware,
44depend on the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on 273causes wireless transmitters to be blocked regardless of the kernel's will, it
45RKFILL_INPUT. 274is still just an input device, and NOT to be registered with the rfkill class.
46 275
47Unless key events trigger an interrupt to which the driver listens, polling 2762. If the wireless transmitter switch control is read-only, it is an input
48will be required to determine the key state changes. For this the input 277device and not to be registered with the rfkill class (and maybe not to be made
49layer providers the input-polldev handler. 278an input layer event source either, see below).
50 279
51A driver should implement a few steps to correctly make use of the 2803. If there is some other device driver *closer* to the actual hardware the
52rfkill subsystem. First for non-polling drivers: 281user interacted with (the button/switch/key) to issue an input event, THAT is
282the device driver that should be issuing input events.
53 283
54 - rfkill_allocate() 284E.g:
55 - input_allocate_device() 285 [RFKILL slider switch] -- [GPIO hardware] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input]
56 - rfkill_register() 286 (platform driver) (wireless card driver)
57 - input_register_device() 287
288The user is closer to the RFKILL slide switch plaform driver, so the driver
289which must issue input events is the platform driver looking at the GPIO
290hardware, and NEVER the wireless card driver (which is just a slave). It is
291very likely that there are other leaves than just the WLAN card rf-kill input
292(e.g. a bluetooth card, etc)...
293
294On the other hand, some embedded devices do this:
295
296 [RFKILL slider switch] -- [WLAN card rf-kill input]
297 (wireless card driver)
298
299In this situation, the wireless card driver *could* register itself as an input
300device and issue rf-kill related input events... but in order to AVOID the need
301for DMI whitelisting, the wireless card driver does NOT do it. Userspace (HAL)
302or a platform driver (that exists only on these embedded devices) will do the
303dirty job of issuing the input events.
304
305
306COMMON MISTAKES in kernel drivers, related to rfkill:
307====================================
308
3091. NEVER confuse input device keys and buttons with input device switches.
310
311 1a. Switches are always set or reset. They report the current state
312 (on position or off position).
313
314 1b. Keys and buttons are either in the pressed or not-pressed state, and
315 that's it. A "button" that latches down when you press it, and
316 unlatches when you press it again is in fact a switch as far as input
317 devices go.
318
319Add the SW_* events you need for switches, do NOT try to emulate a button using
320KEY_* events just because there is no such SW_* event yet. Do NOT try to use,
321for example, KEY_BLUETOOTH when you should be using SW_BLUETOOTH instead.
322
3232. Input device switches (sources of EV_SW events) DO store their current state
324(so you *must* initialize it by issuing a gratuitous input layer event on
325driver start-up and also when resuming from sleep), and that state CAN be
326queried from userspace through IOCTLs. There is no sysfs interface for this,
327but that doesn't mean you should break things trying to hook it to the rfkill
328class to get a sysfs interface :-)
329
3303. Do not issue *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, unless you are sure it is the
331correct event for your switch/button. These events are emergency power-off
332events when they are trying to turn the transmitters off. An example of an
333input device which SHOULD generate *_RFKILL_ALL events is the wireless-kill
334switch in a laptop which is NOT a hotkey, but a real switch that kills radios
335in hardware, even if the O.S. has gone to lunch. An example of an input device
336which SHOULD NOT generate *_RFKILL_ALL events by default, is any sort of hot
337key that does nothing by itself, as well as any hot key that is type-specific
338(e.g. the one for WLAN).
339
340
3413.1 Guidelines for wireless device drivers
342------------------------------------------
343
3441. Each independent transmitter in a wireless device (usually there is only one
345transmitter per device) should have a SINGLE rfkill class attached to it.
346
3472. If the device does not have any sort of hardware assistance to allow the
348driver to rfkill the device, the driver should emulate it by taking all actions
349required to silence the transmitter.
350
3513. If it is impossible to silence the transmitter (i.e. it still emits energy,
352even if it is just in brief pulses, when there is no data to transmit and there
353is no hardware support to turn it off) do NOT lie to the users. Do not attach
354it to a rfkill class. The rfkill subsystem does not deal with data
355transmission, it deals with energy emission. If the transmitter is emitting
356energy, it is not blocked in rfkill terms.
357
3584. It doesn't matter if the device has multiple rfkill input lines affecting
359the same transmitter, their combined state is to be exported as a single state
360per transmitter (see rule 1).
361
362This rule exists because users of the rfkill subsystem expect to get (and set,
363when possible) the overall transmitter rfkill state, not of a particular rfkill
364line.
365
366Example of a WLAN wireless driver connected to the rfkill subsystem:
367--------------------------------------------------------------------
368
369A certain WLAN card has one input pin that causes it to block the transmitter
370and makes the status of that input pin available (only for reading!) to the
371kernel driver. This is a hard rfkill input line (it cannot be overridden by
372the kernel driver).
373
374The card also has one PCI register that, if manipulated by the driver, causes
375it to block the transmitter. This is a soft rfkill input line.
376
377It has also a thermal protection circuitry that shuts down its transmitter if
378the card overheats, and makes the status of that protection available (only for
379reading!) to the kernel driver. This is also a hard rfkill input line.
380
381If either one of these rfkill lines are active, the transmitter is blocked by
382the hardware and forced offline.
383
384The driver should allocate and attach to its struct device *ONE* instance of
385the rfkill class (there is only one transmitter).
386
387It can implement the get_state() hook, and return RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED if
388either one of its two hard rfkill input lines are active. If the two hard
389rfkill lines are inactive, it must return RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED if its soft
390rfkill input line is active. Only if none of the rfkill input lines are
391active, will it return RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
58 392
59For polling drivers: 393If it doesn't implement the get_state() hook, it must make sure that its calls
394to rfkill_force_state() are enough to keep the status always up-to-date, and it
395must do a rfkill_force_state() on resume from sleep.
60 396
397Every time the driver gets a notification from the card that one of its rfkill
398lines changed state (polling might be needed on badly designed cards that don't
399generate interrupts for such events), it recomputes the rfkill state as per
400above, and calls rfkill_force_state() to update it.
401
402The driver should implement the toggle_radio() hook, that:
403
4041. Returns an error if one of the hardware rfkill lines are active, and the
405caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
406
4072. Activates the soft rfkill line if the caller asked for state
408RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED. It should do this even if one of the hard rfkill
409lines are active, effectively double-blocking the transmitter.
410
4113. Deactivates the soft rfkill line if none of the hardware rfkill lines are
412active and the caller asked for RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED.
413
414===============================================================================
4154: Kernel API
416
417To build a driver with rfkill subsystem support, the driver should depend on
418(or select) the Kconfig symbol RFKILL; it should _not_ depend on RKFILL_INPUT.
419
420The hardware the driver talks to may be write-only (where the current state
421of the hardware is unknown), or read-write (where the hardware can be queried
422about its current state).
423
424The rfkill class will call the get_state hook of a device every time it needs
425to know the *real* current state of the hardware. This can happen often.
426
427Some hardware provides events when its status changes. In these cases, it is
428best for the driver to not provide a get_state hook, and instead register the
429rfkill class *already* with the correct status, and keep it updated using
430rfkill_force_state() when it gets an event from the hardware.
431
432There is no provision for a statically-allocated rfkill struct. You must
433use rfkill_allocate() to allocate one.
434
435You should:
61 - rfkill_allocate() 436 - rfkill_allocate()
62 - input_allocate_polled_device() 437 - modify rfkill fields (flags, name)

4585: Userspace support
459
460rfkill devices issue uevents (with an action of "change"), with the following
461environment variables set:
462
463RFKILL_NAME
464RFKILL_STATE
465RFKILL_TYPE
466
467The ABI for these variables is defined by the sysfs attributes. It is best
468to take a quick look at the source to make sure of the possible values.
469
470It is expected that HAL will trap those, and bridge them to DBUS, etc. These
471events CAN and SHOULD be used to give feedback to the user about the rfkill
472status of the system.
473
474Input devices may issue events that are related to rfkill. These are the
475various KEY_* events and SW_* events supported by rfkill-input.c.
476
477******IMPORTANT******
478When rfkill-input is ACTIVE, userspace is NOT TO CHANGE THE STATE OF AN RFKILL
479SWITCH IN RESPONSE TO AN INPUT EVENT also handled by rfkill-input, unless it
480has set to true the user_claim attribute for that particular switch. This rule
481is *absolute*; do NOT violate it.
482******IMPORTANT******
483
484Userspace must not assume it is the only source of control for rfkill switches.
485Their state CAN and WILL change due to firmware actions, direct user actions,
486and the rfkill-input EPO override for *_RFKILL_ALL.
487
488When rfkill-input is not active, userspace must initiate a rfkill status
489change by writing to the "state" attribute in order for anything to happen.
490
491Take particular care to implement EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL properly. When that
492switch is set to OFF, *every* rfkill device *MUST* be immediately put into the
493RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED state, no questions asked.

525In order to know the current state of an input device switch (like
526SW_RFKILL_ALL), you will need to use an IOCTL. That information is not
527available through sysfs in a generic way at this time, and it is not available
528through the rfkill class AT ALL.

13
141. General issues
15
161.1 Why a new UHCI driver, we already have one?!?
17
18Correct, but its internal structure got more and more mixed up by the (still
19ongoing) efforts to get isochronous transfers (ISO) to work.
20Since there is an increasing need for reliable ISO-transfers (especially
21for USB-audio needed by TS and for a DAB-USB-Receiver build by GA and DF),
22this state was a bit unsatisfying in our opinion, so we've decided (based
23on knowledge and experiences with the old UHCI driver) to start
24from scratch with a new approach, much simpler but at the same time more
25powerful.
26It is inspired by the way Win98/Win2000 handles USB requests via URBs,
27but it's definitely 100% free of MS-code and doesn't crash while
28unplugging an used ISO-device like Win98 ;-)
29Some code for HW setup and root hub management was taken from the
30original UHCI driver, but heavily modified to fit into the new code.
31The invention of the basic concept, and major coding were completed in two
32days (and nights) on the 16th and 17th of October 1999, now known as the
33great USB-October-Revolution started by GA, DF, and TS ;-)
34
35Since the concept is in no way UHCI dependent, we hope that it will also be
36transferred to the OHCI-driver, so both drivers share a common API.
37
381.2. Advantages and disadvantages
39
40+ All USB transfer types work now!
41+ Asynchronous operation
42+ Simple, but powerful interface (only two calls for start and cancel)
43+ Easy migration to the new API, simplified by a compatibility API
44+ Simple usage of ISO transfers
45+ Automatic linking of requests
46+ ISO transfers allow variable length for each frame and striping
47+ No CPU dependent and non-portable atomic memory access, no asm()-inlines
48+ Tested on x86 and Alpha
49
50- Rewriting for ISO transfers needed
51
521.3. Is there some compatibility to the old API?
53
54Yes, but only for control, bulk and interrupt transfers. We've implemented
55some wrapper calls for these transfer types. The usbcore works fine with
56these wrappers. For ISO there's no compatibility, because the old ISO-API
57and its semantics were unnecessary complicated in our opinion.
58
591.4. What's really working?
60
61As said above, CTRL and BULK already work fine even with the wrappers,
62so legacy code wouldn't notice the change.
63Regarding to Thomas, ISO transfers now run stable with USB audio.
64INT transfers (e.g. mouse driver) work fine, too.
65
661.5. Are there any bugs?
67
68No ;-)
69Hm...
70Well, of course this implementation needs extensive testing on all available
71hardware, but we believe that any fixes shouldn't harm the overall concept.
72
731.6. What should be done next?
74
75A large part of the request handling seems to be identical for UHCI and
76OHCI, so it would be a good idea to extract the common parts and have only
77the HW specific stuff in uhci.c. Furthermore, all other USB device drivers
78should need URBification, if they use isochronous or interrupt transfers.
79One thing missing in the current implementation (and the old UHCI driver)
80is fair queueing for BULK transfers. Since this would need (in principle)
81the alteration of already constructed TD chains (to switch from depth to
82breadth execution), another way has to be found. Maybe some simple
83heuristics work with the same effect.
84
85---------------------------------------------------------------------------
86
872. Internal structure and mechanisms
88
89To get quickly familiar with the internal structures, here's a short
90description how the new UHCI driver works. However, the ultimate source of
91truth is only uhci.c!
92
932.1. Descriptor structure (QHs and TDs)
94
95During initialization, the following skeleton is allocated in init_skel:
96
97 framespecific | common chain
98
99framelist[]
100[ 0 ]-----> TD --> TD -------\
101[ 1 ]-----> TD --> TD --------> TD ----> QH -------> QH -------> QH ---> NULL
102 ... TD --> TD -------/
103[1023]-----> TD --> TD ------/
104
105 ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^
106 1024 TDs for 7 TDs for 1 TD for Start of Start of End Chain
107 ISO INT (2-128ms) 1ms-INT CTRL Chain BULK Chain
108
109For each CTRL or BULK transfer a new QH is allocated and the containing data
110transfers are appended as (vertical) TDs. After building the whole QH with its
111dangling TDs, the QH is inserted before the BULK Chain QH (for CTRL) or
112before the End Chain QH (for BULK). Since only the QH->next pointers are
113affected, no atomic memory operation is required. The three QHs in the
114common chain are never equipped with TDs!
115
116For ISO or INT, the TD for each frame is simply inserted into the appropriate
117ISO/INT-TD-chain for the desired frame. The 7 skeleton INT-TDs are scattered
118among the 1024 frames similar to the old UHCI driver.
119
120For CTRL/BULK/ISO, the last TD in the transfer has the IOC-bit set. For INT,
121every TD (there is only one...) has the IOC-bit set.
122
123Besides the data for the UHCI controller (2 or 4 32bit words), the descriptors
124are double-linked through the .vertical and .horizontal elements in the
125SW data of the descriptor (using the double-linked list structures and
126operations), but SW-linking occurs only in closed domains, i.e. for each of
127the 1024 ISO-chains and the 8 INT-chains there is a closed cycle. This
128simplifies all insertions and unlinking operations and avoids costly
129bus_to_virt()-calls.
130
1312.2. URB structure and linking to QH/TDs
132
133During assembly of the QH and TDs of the requested action, these descriptors
134are stored in urb->urb_list, so the allocated QH/TD descriptors are bound to
135this URB.
136If the assembly was successful and the descriptors were added to the HW chain,
137the corresponding URB is inserted into a global URB list for this controller.
138This list stores all pending URBs.
139
1402.3. Interrupt processing
141
142Since UHCI provides no means to directly detect completed transactions, the
143following is done in each UHCI interrupt (uhci_interrupt()):
144
145For each URB in the pending queue (process_urb()), the ACTIVE-flag of the
146associated TDs are processed (depending on the transfer type
147process_{transfer|interrupt|iso}()). If the TDs are not active anymore,
148they indicate the completion of the transaction and the status is calculated.
149Inactive QH/TDs are removed from the HW chain (since the host controller
150already removed the TDs from the QH, no atomic access is needed) and
151eventually the URB is marked as completed (OK or errors) and removed from the
152pending queue. Then the next linked URB is submitted. After (or immediately
153before) that, the completion handler is called.
154
1552.4. Unlinking URBs
156
157First, all QH/TDs stored in the URB are unlinked from the HW chain.
158To ensure that the host controller really left a vertical TD chain, we
159wait for one frame. After that, the TDs are physically destroyed.
160
1612.5. URB linking and the consequences
162
163Since URBs can be linked and the corresponding submit_urb is called in
164the UHCI-interrupt, all work associated with URB/QH/TD assembly has to be
165interrupt save. This forces kmalloc to use GFP_ATOMIC in the interrupt.
